I had the best experience with my landlord Tim! He was always available to discuss anything I had a problem with the apartment. He was kind and made me feel like I was in a welcomed community. I will miss living here and especially having Tim as my landlord ! Everyone at this apartment was so kind and made my living experience very pleasant

My experience here was great, location right next to link station which was awesome, and the building manager Tim was welcoming and such a fun neighbor:) Super charming old building, I always go for apartments with character and this was it. From move in to move out everyone was responsive and friendly.
